Suntrak's brand new Maintenance Recovery Vehicle arrived at the
Las Vegas Monorail OMSF on February 5, 2003.
Shortly after its long truck ride from Punta Gorda, Florida, the
MRV is prepped for a crane ride.
On the beam, ready for many years of service!
Not the prettiest of monorail vehicles, but it will do a beautiful
job.
In a view from the Sahara Resort, the MRV can be seen right outside
the OMSF. Our thanks to Dave Sampson of Supertrak for the MRV
images.
As long as we're looking from hotel towers, let's move over to
the Las Vegas Hilton and peak out one of its upper windows. Here's
a nice shot looking down on the Las Vegas Hilton Station. Beyond
the station the beamways head for the Sahara.
Panning to the left we see the guideway headed south from Las
Vegas Hilton Station. The large white building at the top left
corner is one of the Las Vegas Convention Center buildings.
With the aid of a zoom lens, here's a look at the unique crossover
switch platform at the Hilton. During the Phase II expansion,
a dual rail spur line will connect here. The spur line beams will
run toward the upper right and cross over Paradise Road for a
run to the Riviera Hotel.
